We don't eat much bread in our family. And I'm just gonna go ahead and admit that it's kind of annoying. It certainly isn't because it isn't delicious. It's just because I don't like serving up all those empty, simple carbs. I sure wish that somehow suddenly a giant loaf of rosemary bread dipped in balsamic-laced, roasted garlic-infused olive oil would magically become health food. But alas. I don't see it happenin'.
So. We eat some of that amazingly fragrant rosemary bread occasionally--for special occasions and when we've been super disciplined and deserve a little splurge (Or ok--a pretty big splurge. Whatever. Stop judging me for wanting all of the rosemary bread.)
But most of the time, I try to avoid such things. So a little treat like this--even thought it really isn't a biscuit at all--can sometimes be just the right bite to make us not miss those carbs so much.

These are delicious served as a stand-alone side dish with just about any meal, but my favorite way to serve them is with a saucy meat dish like barbecued pulled pork or slow-cooked beef roast.
